I removed the fan and cleaned it, oiled it a bit. It is still loud. I would like to replace it. Where do I find parts ?
See my "I have the same problem" response. It sounds like the bearings going bad on both yours and mine, and per Humax weaknees.com is the best source for a replacement fan. I tried local stores, including Frys, but noone sells that size fan (it's somewhere between 60 & 80mm in size). Once the bearings on a fan start going, as far as I know the only thing that really works is replacement...
Check if there is a part number on the fan unit then google it.
The fan motor and axis is full of burned oil and fat and this can make it run harder and heavy.
Also the Fan blades from heat can be deforms and heats the frame while they rotate.
So the first solution is to remove the complete fan and motor clean the axis and use lubricated oil like UD40 and check the fan blade if they are straight. If the fan and motor look very bad then replace it with a new one.

I have the same issue. My fan got loud enough as the bearings go bad that I've unplugged it. I called Humax tech support, and they recommended weaknees.com. It looks like they sell a replacement fan for our units for 19.00. Make sure you look at the compatibility chart on the right, match up the drt400. If I remember right, the part comes up as some kind of raised housing unit.
